Using option 2: multi-path device
To configure the device as a multipath device, the host of the CMMDB needs to be made aware
of the media agents using this device, which may reside in other cells:
1. Open the cell_info file on the Cell Manager. This file is located under
DP_Home\Config\Server\Cell on Windows Servers. Copy the lines containing the media
agent host connected to the device in the cell_info file from the Cell Manager to the
cell_info file on the MoM. A typical line in the cell_info file, where only MA is installed
looks like the following:
-host "host.domain.com" -os "hp s800 hp-ux-11.31" -core A.06.10 -ma A.06.10
2. Repeat this process for all Cell Managers in the environment.
3. Save the cell_info file on the MoM and restart the GUI.
The same cell_info file content needs to be added to the MoM server cell_info file.
Note: Additional steps are required if you use the (recommended) secure cell feature
(allow_hosts).
Now that you have configured the cell_info file on the Cell Managers, you can configure the
device as a multipath device:
1. Right-click the device to see its properties. Click on the Multipath Device checkbox.
